Miscellaneous

Balance Changes

* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn't make it in - don't freak out! These are not official notes.

Champions

Alistar

Headbutt (W)

[NOTE: ricklessabandon has noted that Alistar's W speed is [1] "down from 1500 to 1200, which gives ~25% more reaction time on low latency environments if cast from max range" + [2]"and likewise gives players on higher latency environments a slightly longer window to attempt the headbutt-into-pulverize combo"]

[This previously Black Market Brawlers only item will soon be purchable on Summoner's Rift as the last "new" item for the juggernaut itemization. See Riot Axes' post for more information and stay on the look out forDead Man's Plate to hit SR soon!]
